Abstract
The present invention provides methods for diagnosing the presence or severity of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in an individual and methods for stratifying IBD by determining the level of one or more IBD markers in a sample from the individual and calculating an index value using an algorithm based upon the level of the IBD markers. Methods for monitoring the efficacy of IBD therapy, monitoring the progression or regression of IBD, and optimizing therapy in an individual having IBD are also provided.
